The profession of our faith— Of our hope. So it is in all our manuscript copies but one. See ch. Hebrews 6:18.

The last clause of this verse confirms the above reading: Hold fast your hope,—for he is faithful, and to be depended on, who hath promised an eternal inheritance to them, who by patient continuance in well-doing, seek for glory, honour, and immortality.
